Schoolboy brags his ball is “FIFA approved”

A 13-year-old football fanatic has been labelled a “rich boy” and picked last for teams after spending recess repeatedly mentioning his new soccer ball is FIFA approved.

Following his recent move from North Sydney’s prestigious St Aloysius’ College, Zach Montgomery told TFS his first appearance on a public school pitch had been worse than a cold and rainy night in Stoke.

The new Bonnyrigg High School Year 8 student was left until last to be picked for lunch teams, something that he said “escaped all logical reasoning”.
